Safe Harbor Pilots Pointe Marina

Friday September 2nd.
The cruise from Glen Cove to Westbrook was a long sloppy ride! Nana took the helm and increased the speed to 12 mph which made all the difference. A total of 62.7 NM New Horizon arrived into Safe Harbor Pilots Pointe Marina South after six hours. Nana and Nandad were so used to the river, lakes and canals that we had forgotten how choppy the sound can be. The picture above it passing the Falkner Island Light on our way to Westbrook Harbor. The marina is very large with North, South and East docks. We have a pool, restaurant ( that is actually open), and a beach. Nana is sooo excited to finally relax on the beach - the first time this summer! 
New Horizon is among some beautiful sailboats. The Marina has several hundred docks!

While at the beach Nana learned that the area is surrounded by Duck Island, Menunketesuck Island, and Salt Island. These islands are noted for their long-legged wading birds such as egrets, herons and ibises. This is a very active spot while also providing a quite place to walk, ride your bike, take a run or simply enjoy the beaches. A lovely sunset from the restaurant. Nana was surprised to realize that sunset is now 7.19 pm. We have had a wonderful Layday here and will head to Fishers Island tomorrow Sunday September 4th.

While Nana and Nandad are enjoying the sunset at Westbrook Harbor the Nevins are enjoying the sunset in Newport RI. It certainly is the good life.
